## What it is
JavaScript Standard Style is a zero-configuration JavaScript style guide that ships as a CLI linter and automatic code fixer built on ESLint. It enforces consistent code style and catches programmer errors without any config files.

## Use cases
- enforce a consistent javascript code style across a team
- lint javascript without configuring eslint rules
- automatically fix code style issues with standard --fix
- catch style issues and programmer errors before code review
- add linting to a nodejs project with zero setup
- share a standard eslint config across projects

## When to choose
- you want linting and formatting with no configuration decisions
- your team wants one opinionated style guide to avoid bikeshedding
- you want a single CLI that wraps ESLint with sensible defaults

## When to avoid
- you need heavily customized lint rules or a custom style guide
- you prefer Prettier for formatting combined with minimal linting
- you need TypeScript-specific linting beyond what standard supports
